Barbados men arrested after sealed marijuana bags found in Dania Beach hotel room

DANIA BEACH, Fla. – Two men from Barbados were arrested Saturday after deputies said they found sealed bags of marijuana in their Dania Beach hotel room.

Calvin Braithwaite, 34, and Dyson Benskin, 33, were staying at the Hyatt Place on Southwest 18th Avenue when a member of the housekeeping staff smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the room. The employee notified management, who entered the room and saw a large amount of marijuana in bags on the floor and on a table. They called the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

While deputies were waiting on a search warrant, Braithwaite and Benskin returned to the hotel and were taken into custody.
